At long last, my first SLR camera....

[john185k]

Finally bought an SLR, after two years of learning the trade with my finepix S6500FD... was a great learning tool, which let me do a few shots like these





However I picked out a Canon 400D (pretty common,) although it appears to be best suited to my skill level/needs etc...

Only just charged up the battery, taken 3 shots of my watch - this is the best of the bunch! Need to investigate the RAW function tomorrow!

Strewth John, you've only gone and mentioned the "R" word.

Now you've done it...

Don't mention the RAW - I said it once, but I think I got away with it.

Congrats on the purchase !

The shots i've seen with your S6500 look great (especially the Maldives shots ).
Looking forward to seeing what you can do with an slr


..oh, and welcome to the slippery slope of lens buying



Cheers.
